Customer reviews for LG 7.3 cu. ft. Electric Dryer with Sensor Dry forBad touch controls
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Really bad touch control panel. No one cautioned me about it and let me know there was a similar model with normal buttons. I have to push the start button 15 to 20 times to run the dryer. Called service who witnessed how many times I had to push the button. Said it was working as designed and told me about the other model. Too late for me to swap. I'm annoyed every time I use the dryer. The dryer door is great.
Hey there Mep! Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review on your dryer! Your feedback means the world to us, and we’re committed to making your experience as amazing as possible. If you’re finding that you need to press the start button a couple of times before it works, don’t worry—we’re here to help! Here are a few simple steps you can try: first, unplug the dryer to disconnect it from the power source. Next, while it’s unplugged, press and hold the [POWER/START] button for 5 seconds, then hold the [PLAY/PAUSE] button for another 5 seconds. After that, plug it back in and see if the issue is resolved. Additionally, check for dirt or debris around the start button and give it a gentle clean if needed. Lastly, inspect the door switch, as it might be causing issues with starting the dryer. If these tips don’t do the trick, we’ve got your back!

Excellent dryer, so smart, easy to use, very quiet
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Have used dryer a couple of weeks & it's so smart, easy to use & quiet. The clothes are completely dry & not a wrinkled mess when done. The door can open side to side or from the top which is helpful when washing bid bulky items vs normal loads. Many options to choose from & shows time during each cycle. The one thing I'm not wild about is the top of the dryer is slanted, so stuff you put on top slides off.
Great features!
We bought an LG washer and dryer in 2023 and in 2024 decided to sell our house. The buyers wanted both items as they knew they were new with warranties on them. So, we had to buy replacements. We bought new AI washer and dryer set in 2024. We love the AI feature where we can just set it and the computer figures out how to wash or dry the clothes. Also, love the scheduling features too.
Hi Darren, thank you for taking a moment to share your experience. It’s great to hear that your LG 7.3 cu ft Ultra Large Capacity Rear Control Gas Dryer with EasyLoad Door and AI Sensing model DLG8401WE has been such a smooth upgrade. Moving from one LG set to another says a lot, and it’s good to know the AI features and scheduling options are making laundry easier in your new home. Having the dryer automatically adjust for each load is a real convenience, and it’s great that it fits your routine so well.

Feature rich but door dud
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall, I like the dryer from the standpoint of being able to open it from top/down to move items from washer to the dryer more easily. However, I do not like the fact that the door when opened from the side will NOT stay open. You need to use your leg or other body part to hold the door open to remove clothes. As far as the features and drying ability, no issues.

New and confusing
This dryer is delightfully large; dries just as hoped; have only a few questions: why won't the door stay open so I can move clothes from washer with both hands? why is the top slanted instead of flat which eliminates one of my main sorting spaces in my pantry? and, most importantly, why did I have to call your 800 number in order to get a real operating manual, because what comes with the dryer installation is worthless.
Hello, Mary! We appreciate your fantastic 5‑star review of your LG dryer! It’s great hearing that the large capacity and strong drying performance are hitting the mark for you. The questions you raised are thoughtful ones — the door design is meant to prevent it from swinging freely during loading, and the slanted top is part of the dryer’s styling and safety design. We're also glad you reached out for the full LG operating manual, since having the complete guide makes exploring all the features much easier!

Great dryer
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this a couple of weeks ago . It’s very efficient and clothes are dry at end of cycle ! The door opens to the side and towards bottom . I expected it to open completely toward bottom but it’s less than half way open . I am not sure how beneficial that is to me .Still new so maybe I will find its purpose .
Large capacity, easy to load and unload
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the dryer. Super large capacity. Was easy to figure out the settings. The wrinkle care feature does work well and use it all the time. Another feature that l like is the reversible door, open the topside when loading from the washer so that the laundry doesn't fall on the floor and open the side way when unloading into a laundry basket.
Hi, Winne! We appreciate you sharing your experience with your LG Dryer. It’s great hearing how the large capacity, easy‑to‑use settings, and wrinkle care feature are all making laundry day smoother. The reversible door is such a smart touch too — loading and unloading without dropping clothes on the floor is a win in any home. Sounds like your LG unit is doing exactly what you need!

does not dry!!!
Consumer Reports recommended this dryer, however, my clothes have not once dried, remaining damp when the damp cycle is at 0. Also, the controls are in black against black and are hard to read. This might be a dud washer or the operator is not cognizant on how to use this dryer. It would be nice to know how to operate this dryer so I don’t have to replace it.

TOTALLY AWESOME
I am very happy with both my LG washer and LG dryer! The clothes have never come out better in cleanliness and after dryer results--I've used most of the settings, from AI to specific and they've all been terrific--hopefully these will last me a lifetime--I'm VERY HAPPY with them!
Not worth the money!
This gas dryer comes with the worst operator manual ever! The dryer comes with multiple settings that take more than one cycle to dry - the drying sensor is located in front so will shut off if it detects any semi-dry item. Repair person advised me not to use energy saver and use time dry only - could have gotten away with a much cheaper dryer if that was how I was going to use it! Disappointed!
